PARAMETERS OF SPACE
69 film transparencies laminated and grommeted
suspended as 3 hanging screens

John Taylor's Parameters of Space plays games with our conventional understanding of the term space, in a room not created of solid walls and real furniture, but of black and white laminated transparencies. His photographic installation permits the viewer to look at and through what he understands about living space, testing his perception of what is and what seems to be.

Taylor was inspired by Buckminster Fuller's premise that the rational multiple of the unit length of any semi-axis intercepted by a crystal plane determines its position with reference to the fundamental form.
